Escape from Kurpitsa

– A Micro-Action-Trash-Vegetable-Specific-Market-Show. In Season Only.

On a stand in the market place, inside a huge pumpkin runs a special flavoured show. Escape from Kurpitsa Island is a small story of a big issue. The cold war is gushing as secret agents Sergey and Johnstone steer after a nuclear device lost in the depth of a giant pumpkin. Chased by mutant rabbits and a living double ham, they find finally each other – and world peace.

Escape from Kurpitsa Island was created 2010 as part of sixfingers Theatre’s Mikropatia -micro theatre festival and performed 2010-11 in the market place of Turku, by the vegetable stands. The stage was made each time into a great soup.
